Hiring is broken - but not for the reasons you think.

Recruiters flood hiring managers with candidates, yet decision-makers hesitate to pull the trigger. The process drags, top talent walks, and organizations pay the price.

Tim Sackett isn’t here to sugarcoat it. In this unfiltered solo session, he lays out why the hiring machine is failing and what needs to change.

From hiring managers’ paradoxical indecision to the myth of "more candidates = better hires," he breaks down how talent acquisition teams have conditioned bad behavior - and why fixing it requires a shift in trust, process, and execution.

Then there’s Elon Musk. His blunt demand for accountability in government sent HR circles into a tailspin, but is he wrong?

Sackett cuts through the noise to dissect why performance management is broken and why most leaders are afraid to ask their employees the one question that actually matters.

The workforce is shifting.

The hiring game is changing.

If you’re still playing by the old rules, you’re already behind.
